Tivic Health Receives Approval from Institutional Review Board for ncVNS Optimization Study, Readies for Enrollment

Tivic Health® Systems, Inc. (“Tivic Health”, Nasdaq: TIVC), a health tech company that develops and commercializes bioelectronic medicine, today announced that it has received approval from The Feinstein Institutes’ Institutional Review Board for the next phase of clinical work on its non-invasive cervical vagus nerve stimulation (“ncVNS”) approach.

This clinical research collaboration with Feinstein is designed to advance the development of Tivic Health’s ncVNS technology by refining and optimizing stimulation parameters. Physiological measurements will be used to enhance device performance and refine specifications such as electrode positioning and electrical waveform parameters. The data derived from the study will be used to inform the selection of clinical populations of interest and help shape the clinical study design for upcoming trials.

The company has previously announced the successful completion of its Phase 1 study on ncVNS. Key goals of the current study include:

  • Optimizing Treatment Strategies: The research will provide critical data to advance both personalization of treatment and optimization of stimulation parameters.
  • Accelerating Product Development: The optimized parameters will help accelerate development of Tivic Health’s product offerings based on ncVNS.

The company has also recently announced its collaboration with Fletcher Spaght, a leading healthcare growth strategy firm. Fletcher Spaght has begun substantiating clinical applications with high unmet needs that have potential to be addressed by Tivic Health’s patent-pending ncVNS system.

“We are taking an integrated approach to clinical, product development and go-to-market planning for our medical-grade non-invasive VNS program,” explained Jennifer Ernst, CEO of Tivic Health. “We believe this approach creates the best opportunities to generate significant new revenue based on this work.”

The optimization study will be conducted by The Feinstein Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine. It will be led by Dr. Theodoros Zanos, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine and Head of the Neural and Data Science Lab at The Feinstein Institutes at Northwell Health, in partnership with Dr. Blake Gurfein, Tivic Health’s Chief Scientific Officer.

“Precision optimization is an important but often overlooked step in non-invasive neurostimulation device development,” Dr. Gurfein commented. “I am pleased we are working with Dr. Zanos and other leaders in the field as we move from proof-of-concept to disease-specific validation in clinical trials anticipated next year.”

Polaris Market Research estimates the global vagus nerve stimulation market, valued at $8.59 billion in 2021, will reach $21.3 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 10.6% over the forecast period. Tivic Health aims to deliver more personalized and effective treatment options for patients using non-invasive VNS and, in so doing, establish itself as a market leader in the field of bioelectronic medicine.
